NOTE FROM JOHN:

Producers on the new “Star Trek: Enterprise” series,
which takes place before the voyages of Kirk,
Spock and crew, recently let reporters into
the new “USS Enterprise” for a sneak peek.
Of course, we don’t need a tour to know what we’ll see on board:

The Top 6 Features of
the New “USS Enterprise”

6> Toilets!

5> Sensors that sense anger, thus eliminating one pointless bridge crew position.

4> Robotic away-team member specializes in waving his arms, warning of danger, and finding flat terrain to roll on.

3> At this point in history, “photon torpedoes” consisted of merely hurling spent light bulbs at enemy ships.

2> The early-model holodeck makes Reese Witherspoon look a little boxy, but that’s OK, we’ll settle.

and the Number 1 Feature of the New “USS Enterprise”…

1> Stripped-down “transporter room” consists of nothing but a hatch and a very large rubber band.
